One Green Apple
Farah feels alone, even when surrounded by her classmates. She listens and nods but doesn’t speak. It’s hard being the new kid in school, especially when you’re from another country and don’t know the language. Then, on a field trip to an apple orchard, Farah discovers there are lots of things that sound the same as they did at home, from dogs crunching their food to the ripple of friendly laughter. As she helps the class make apple cider, Farah connects with the other students and begins to feel that she belongs.

The problem with this book is its veiled ostracism. The story of a girl who finds a different apple than other children, which is received with dismay and surprise, ends with the girl's "blending in" with her immediate surroundings. Assimilation, however, very often leads to cultural effacement of the culture of "the other." The book only proffesses to tackle pertinent racial issues, in reality, however, it perpetuates discrimination. The story underscores the girl's otherness and instead of embracing this otherness, she becomes a part of unified society layer that purports to accept diversity. It is not about acceptace: the matter is about understanding.

This book reminded me of myself when I came to this country and I didn't know English, I can totally relate to Farrah, and I have like 5 foreign students that would be identified as well. Its a wonderful story, I would introduce this in class tp introduce immigration, differences, and accepytance

“One Green Apple” literary essay Name: Cassidy Neu
People can be cruel especially to people who are different, like Farah. In the story “One Green Apple”, Farah has just moved to the United States, from a country that doesn’t speak English, so she has been bullied because she looks, sounds, and talks differently. She has a lot of perseverance because even though it is hard, she tries her best to learn English, she still tries to make friends and be polite to others even though they are not polite to her, and lastly, she still tries to teach people that she is kind.
My first reason Farah has perseverance because even though it is hard she tries her best to learn English. she has just come to this new country the US she doesn’t know any English her parents enroll her in school she goes to ESL (English as a second language) she go on a field trip to this apple orchard she sees hadids, but she is learning in ESL that they are called dogs, she finds this language weird but exciting. The teacher is teaching numbers and she says “one” she understands the one means singular. “app-ell, the other word is too difficult.” This quote is important because it resembles how hard she is working on English one word at a time. “I want to say that I understand, it’s not that I’m stupid it is just that I am lost in this new place.” this quote is important because even though she can’t speak English she’s not stupid, because she is learning new words every day. The author could have left the sentence at “app-ell” but instead said that the other word (cider) was too hard to say. This technique is inner-thinking because she is thinking about learning new words, even though some are hard to understand and say.
Another reason Farah has perseverance is that she still tries to make friends and be polite to others even though she hasn’t been to her. She and her family have come to this new country to find a better life, she goes on a field trip. On the hayride to the orchid she meets a girl, her name is Anna, she uses simple words to greet her. She feels happy that she understands her. She gets off then, she starts picking apples, she goes to squeeze them into juice they're about to put there’s in and a kid yells “HEY!” but it's too late, it's already in, then she goes back to Anna. She has a good time and she becomes friends because she is proud of her when she says “apple”. “Apple cider, Anna says that must be what we are drinking” this quote is important because learning from people she cares about will help her with communication. “App-ell Anna claps I smile and smile and smile” this quote is important because when she finds a good friend, they celebrate all her accomplishments big or small. The author used dialogue to show that Farah was learning English. For example “app-ell”. This shows readers that Farah is smart to learn new words even when she is so new to the school.
My last reason Farah has perseverance is that she still tries to teach people that she is kind. She comes to the U.S. and people sometimes feel Muslims and people from the middle east are dangerous and mean, people, show this at a young age like when that boy tries to stop Farah from putting in her apple and she feels that she doesn't belong with the group “I hang back not sure if I should be with the others'' this is important because even though she should be with the others she feels that she shouldn’t this means that a lot of people are leaving her out. “A boy shouts HEY! He moves toward me but it is too late.” This is important because even though someone was mean to her she didn't let that get her down.
As you can see, the characters in the story “One Green Apple”, especially Farah, are changing throughout the story. In the beginning, she’s shy, unsure, and lost, but then she gets more and more confident as the story progresses, at the end she has a new friend, knows more words, and is overall happier than at the beginning of the day, all because she worked hard and was determined. Farah is also learning not just English but how she can accept herself as the one green apple.

One green apple is a childrens book about a young girl who ia new to a country and goes to s new school but she is very shy. She feels like the outcast in her new school but after a field trip to a apple picking she makes friends and gets rid of her shyness.
I think this book is intended from grades 3rd-5th because it’s a childrens book and it may be easier for 3rd graders to read. It may also catch their attention more because it has a pictures. I think it’s also intended for 5th graders because they catch the message in the book , and catch what is trying to say and pursue.
I think a reason for children to this book is to be able to get over their shyness and make new friends when they go to a new school. I also think that they should help out people at new schools and be the first to talk to them and make them feel welcomed.
My personal opinion on this book is that it’s a very nice and meaningful because we all get to appoint in our lifes where we are to shy to talk to new people. Also to not be afraid to make an attempt to talk to someone you have never met before . In the book when the new girl picked a green apple and threw it in the juicer one of the boys yelled and said “stop.” After that they started talking , so just one small thing can make you talk to someone you have never talked to before .

Beautiful illustrations paired with beautiful text--you can't go wrong with this picture book aimed at 1-4 graders. It explores themes of isolation and belonging when Farah, the new girl at school who speaks no English, goes on a field trip with the rest of her class. Highly recommended.

I love Eve Bunting.
My mom's a retired school librarian and she adores the Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival. She's been most every year since she moved back to Mississippi 25 years ago. There are several book awards, one of them being the University of Southern Mississippi Medallion. It honors "distinguished service in the field of children's literature" and covers the authors' entire bodies of works. Eve Bunting won in 2007 and mom was hooked. She bought all the Bunting books. This was one, as were Fly Away Home and The Wall. I read them all, and I was hooked as well. My library recently added One Green Apple to their collection and it was a delightful reread.
I love the way Bunting tackles tough subjects in ways that young children can understand them. She isn't heavy handed, but she gets her point across. She walks that fine line between skirting around "issues" and being too somber or dark. This is one of my favorite kinds of picture books because it segues well into interesting discussions.
Bunting does an exceptional job with this in One Green Apple. We know Farah and her family had to leave their homeland and that some people automatically don't like them because of who they are and where they're from. She can't understand what anyone says, she's lonely, and she's homesick. Then the poor girl has to go on a field trip with a whole bunch of strange kids. I know, right?! Bunting tells Farah's story with love and compassion. You'll root for her all the way through. This is a great book about being new, about being different, and about the way friendships can blossom even with these barriers. Highly recommended.

Farah is new to this school and new to this country when her class goes on a field trip to an apple orchard. She is in the silent stage, listening and internalizing some words but unwilling to speak aloud. A girl in her class, Anna, sits next to her and introduces herself. On the field trip, Farah discovers that while the language is different and many elements of the culture are different, many things are the same. Dogs make the same sounds as they run and crunch on apples. Laughter sounds the same. And working together is both challenging and rewarding.
While this does give glimpses into how lonely and challenging it is to move to a new country and shows the positive impact of kindness, it probably softens the whole experience too much. Farah almost immediately makes friends and begins to pick up words. This is appropriate for elementary classrooms and would probably be helpful for English speaking students to begin to relate to peers who have recently immigrated to this country or even to peers who have been here for awhile but have cultural differences. But be aware that the transition will probably be much bumpier and considerably longer for most refugees and most immigrants. In no way should that discourage anyone from reading the book; in fact, I think books like this are invaluable in classrooms today. I just think it warrants stating that the process of adapting to a new culture and learning a new language takes years.

One Green Apple
Hard Times happen in life like when you go to a new School and you don’t know anyone and their language you feel left out and weird and you think you won’t make any friends, well this is what happens in the book “One Green Apple” a girl named Farah just came to a new School. She doesn’t know anyone and can’t speak English and she felt weird ,but then a girl named Anna wanted to be friends with Farah which made her feel very happy and this started to help Farah to accept her differences and then she learned, “it’s okay to be different!” One reason is that Farah was sitting on the hayride alone and felt weird for being the only one looking different when a girl comes up to her and says,” Anna and points to her, Farah.” After that they became friends and when the hayride was at the destination ,they all got apples and they put it in the machine and pushed it to make juice. Farah wanted to help so Anna ,asked “someone to move” and so they did and Farah came and helped and then Anna and them got closer. Farah felt better and started to like this place and then Farah's new friend Jim says”, a Joke and everyone laughed including Farah”.She learned a new word and made her feel like this was her home and she didn’t care, “If she was different”! Another reason is Anna saw Farah lonely and wanted to become her friend ,but she felt nervous since she was different ,but Anna came up to her and they introduced themselves. Anna felt a glimpse of happiness and thought she wasn’t that bad and after the hayride ,Farah helped Anna and this specifically made Anna understand. Farah wasn’t weird, she was just different. After that Anna and Farah laughed together and Anna taught Farah a new word and this made. Anna thinks the choice she made was right and they became best friends, “despite having to speak different languages. “ My Last reason is Farah's Classmates. Farah classmates thought she was weird ,but when they saw Anna and them become friends they started to doubt. Farah less and at the Apple machine ,they saw Farah help turn it to juice and they started to feel different about Farah and when they were on their way to school. Farah's friend Jim made a joke and everyone including Farah laughed and Farah learned a new word and after everything that happened. Farah's Classmates accepted her and didn’t care about her differences and they thought of her not as a stranger but as a classmate! The Author used the inner thinking technique. This is when Farah thought that she was different from everyone and she was weird this happened ,when she just happened to come to a new school and she saw everyone was different from her ,I think the Author felt that he or she had to do that to start the setting. So In Conclusion ,I think that no matter the difficulties or hardships you go through, always remember that It’s okay to be different and there's nothing wrong with being different because in the end ,we will always be different which makes us a unique person!

"One green Apple"
In literature,authors write a lot about a character's struggle. What's surprising to see is how the characters respond and resolve their problem. One green apple by “Eve Bunting” has a character Farra who gradually learns it's ok to be different because Farra is different, Anna accepts Farras differences and most of all Farra realizes that kids like her.
Farra is different. She was on the hayride, but she did not talk to anyone and nobody talked to her. She also needs to learn english, and she wears normal clothes. “My jeans and t-shirts look like everyones elses but my dupatta covers my head and shoulders. I have not seen anyone wear a dupatta here.” Eve bunting uses a lot of description to show the readers that she is describing what Farra is wearing, what is the same and what is different. I think why nobody wore a dupatta is because she is from a different culture or religion. She pulls away from the class to a short lonely tree and instead of red apples it has green apples and she gets one green apple. I think she picked that tree and apple because it could have resembled her in a way.
Anna accepts Farras differences. Anna accepted Farras' differences ,by becoming her first friend in this unknown country to her. “The girl who sits next to me points at herself “Anna” she points to me “Farra.” Eve Bunting used 1rst person narrative to show what Anna was doing from Farras perspective. This helped Farra make friends with Anna wanting to be Farras friend to show other people she is not that different, in a way it shows to Farra that it is okay to be different. Almost at the end of the picture book, Anna calls Farra over so she can help “Anna calls and waves to me to come beside her. A boy made a place for me on the handle between them.” Eve Bunting used revealing actions for example at the beginning they met each other and now at this point she made revealing actions. Anna calls over Farra because Farra is her friend and that Anna accepted Farras differences. On the ride home Anna sits next to Farra “Anna sits next to me in the wagon as we ride back”, Anna sits next to Farra Because Anna has accepted Farras differences.
Farra starts to realize that kids like her, because during the field trip she makes 2 friends Anna and Jim. “The girl who sits next to me points at herself “Anna” she points to me “Farra.”This shows Farra that Anna likes her and that she is not that different from everyone else.” Anna calls and waves to me to come beside her. A boy made a place for me on the handle between them, I am pleased.” If Farra was not that different than Anna would never notice Farra and Farra would not have Anna as a friend. “Anna sits next to me in the wagon on the ride back home”. Eve bunting used revealing actions because Anna sits next to Farra.“There is a boy on the other side. Jim he says and points at himself”. Farra gets a new friend Jim again if Farra was not different Anna neither Jim would recognize Farra.
As you can see the characters in “One Green Apple” Farra learned it's okay to be different because Anna and Jim are her friends.They go from not knowing each other to being friends and it shows revealing actions. From now on I will be more kind because some people just need a friend to make more friends.

Told from the perspective of a recently immigrated Muslim girl, this is the story of a class trip to an apple orchard. Each student picks one apple and the students press the apples into cider. The narrator says, "Apple," which is her "first outside-myself word." She notices that some sounds (laughing, sneezes, and belches) are the same here as they were in her home country, and she begins to feel less alone. This picture book portrays, with sensitivity, what it feels like to be the new girl, to look different, and not to know the language. Attractive and sunny watercolor illustrations.

One Green Apple Literary Essay
Hi in this flash draft I will be showing you my three reasons why I think Anna and Farah learned friendship. My three reasons are; Towards the end of the book when they drank apple cider, on the way to the apple trees, and almost every time they talk to each other they are smiling. Please enjoy my Literary Essay Flash draft.
My first reason why I think Anna and Farah learned fenship is, towards the end of the book (One Green Apple) Anna said to Farah, the drink they were drinking was called apple cider. Then Farah said “apple.” I am pretty sure that Anna was proud of Farah and Farah was proud of herself. Farah was thankful that Anna told her the word.
Another reason why I think Anna and Farah learned fenship is, on the way to the apple trees Anna pointed to herself and said to Farah this “Anna, Then Anna pointed to me Farah!” Anna knowing Farah's name and her saying her name shows that she wants to be friends with Farah.
My last reason why I think Anna and Farah learned fenship is, almost every time they talk to each other they are smiling. I know this because if you look at eny of the pictures of when they were talking they were smiling.
That was my 3 reasons why I think Anna and Farah learned fenship, towards the end of the book, on the way to the apple trees, almost every time they talk to each other they are smiling. Remember 1 friend = many years of happiness. I hope you liked my Literary Essay Flash draft.

Introduction
In life , you will go through tough times such as loss, moving , and much more. In the
text One Green Apple, By Eve Bunting, there is a girl named Farah . Farah goes through tough times and learns the many effects of change. Some more people who learn the effects of change are , her
classmates, and her teacher.
language
One reason Farah learns the effects of change , is because of her different
language. For example, in the text it says '' Tomorrow I will go to the class where I will learn to speak English''. I think this will be a big change for Farah because she has been used to a different language
her whole life. Another example is when she says her first English word out loud. This is important because it shows a big change in her relationship with her classmates. Finally another change is when she is communicating with her classmates and teacher because she has to nod and show expression instead of talking and speaking.
Learning/ Trying new things
Another reason the characters learn the effects of change is when Farah has to learn the new ways of the country. For example, in the text it says " I think it is odd to have boys and girls sit together". This shows that it was not like this in her old village. Another example is when they were going down to the ¨Apple cider maker¨ or the place that Farah thought was where the cow, goat, or shepherd lived. This shows that it was different in her village. Finally, another example when she tries something new is when she has to help out on the ¨Apple cider maker¨. She is not sure what it is which shows things were different in her old village.
Fitting in
The final reason when the characters learn the effects of change is when they have to welcome Farah to her new classroom and her new country. This is demonstrated by Farah, the classmates, and the teacher. For example, Farah is in a new country with a new language, and she does not Know anyone. So her classmates have to learn the effects of change and welcome Farah. Another example is in the text, when they are down by the ¨Apple cider maker¨, and the students are having trouble making the blades turn, Farah says in her head, I am strong, I can help, and the students make room for her on the handle. This shows Farah fitting in.
Conclusion
As you can see, the characters in the text, One Green Apple, learn the many effects of change throughout the story. They all went through big changes, but got through them all.
Introduction
In life , you will go through tough times such as loss, moving , and much more. In the
text One Green Apple, By Eve Bunting, there is a girl named Farah . Farah goes through tough times and learns the many effects of change. Some more people who learn the effects of change are , her
classmates, and her teacher.
language
One reason Farah learns the effects of change , is because of her different
language. For example, in the text it says '' Tomorrow I will go to the class where I will learn to speak English''. I think this will be a big change for Farah because she has been used to a different language
her whole life. Another example is when she says her first English word out loud. This is important because it shows a big change in her relationship with her classmates. Finally another change is when she is communicating with her classmates and teacher because she has to nod and show expression instead of talking and speaking.
Learning/ Trying new things
Another reason the characters learn the effects of change is when Farah has to learn the new ways of the country. For example, in the text it says " I think it is odd to have boys and girls sit together". This shows that it was not like this in her old village. Another example is when they were going down to the ¨Apple cider maker¨ or the place that Farah thought was where the cow, goat, or shepherd lived. This shows that it was different in her village. Finally, another example when she tries something new is when she has to help out on the ¨Apple cider maker¨. She is not sure what it is which shows things were different in her old village.
Fitting in
The final reason when the characters learn the effects of change is when they have to welcome Farah to her new classroom and her new country. This is demonstrated by Farah, the classmates, and the teacher. For example, Farah is in a new country with a new language, and she does not Know anyone. So her classmates have to learn the effects of change and welcome Farah. Another example is in the text, when they are down by the ¨Apple cider maker¨, and the students are having trouble making the blades turn, Farah says in her head, I am strong, I can help, and the students make room for her on the handle. This shows Farah fitting in.
Conclusion
As you can see, the characters in the text, One Green Apple, learn the many effects of change throughout the story. They all went through big changes, but got through them all.

In life people can go through tough changes. In "One Green Apple " a girl named Farah has to move to a new country called America. Se doesn't like America at first but eventually comes through and likes it and sees that different is a good. In "One Green Apple"different is a good unique. This is true for Farah, for Farah's class, and for society.
Farah thinks that it is odd that boys and girls sit by each other. This is odd because in her country boys went to one school, girls went to another school. This is true because in the story it said that is was odd, it was not like this in her old country. Another reason is that boys and girls went to different schools. An example is that boy went to school to get a career and make money. Girls went to school to learn how to cook and do all girl things.
Anna faces challenges with Farah because of how she speaks. Proof of how she speaks is that Anna points to herself to make sure that Farah knows that she is pointing to herself. Another challenge is that a boy doesn't want the green apple she put in the juice. This is true because the boy yells "Hey" he moves toward her to stop her. This shows that the boy doesn't like Farah and dislikes her choice of an apple. Another challenge is how everyone dresses. An example is "My jeans and t-shirt look the same but my dupata covers my head and shoulders.
Society played a big role in Farahs new life because of how everyone acts. An example is that in "One green Apple" Farahs father says that they are not always liked here. Another way is that boys and girls got to go to the same school, but for Farah it was different because she wasn't going to school with boys in her old country. Another role society played was her language. An example is that in "One Green Apple" it says "Tomorrow I will go again where I learn to speak english." This shows and gives evidence that she doesn't know english but at the end she learns a little english on her own.
At the end all the characters get along and see that different is a good unique. Farah goes from being all in her shell to embracing herself to her classmates. This is true for Farah, for Farahs class, and for society.

Life can be hard when you have to move from your home country, but when you're a kid it's even harder. In the story "One Green Apple" by Eve Bunting, Farah moves away and feels left out. "One Green Apple" teaches us that if you feel left out and different , there is always a way you will fit in. This is true for Farah, the one green apple, and sociateys view.
Farah feels left out and lonely from everyone else, but eventually she fits in with everyone else. Here are some places when this happens. On here first day of school people give her cruel smiles which makes Farah not want to be here. Another reason is she wears a dupatta and no one else wears one so she might feel different. At the end though when the other children let Farah help crank the machine, that makes Farah feel good inside.
The one green apple could also feel left out or different just like Farah felt from all the other children. The one green apple might feel these ways because all the other apples are red and not green. Another reason might be is because the apple grew on a tree that was small and further away from all the other trees. Also it fits in just like Farah does when all the apples get blended together.
Sociateys view in "One Green Apple" are having some difficulties. One thing is Farah has to move away from her home country so she doesn't know to do because everything is so new to her. Another difficultie could that Farah or her family are going through tough times. At the end though when the apples get blended together that's when all the positive and good things come into the story.
As you can see the characters in "One Green Apple had to over come the problems in life. Farah is all tight up in herself, but when she starts to interact with the other students she isn't afraid to speak and play with the other kids. Now I will try to be more open with everyone else.

"One Green Apple" by Eve Bunting tells the story of Middle Eastern student's attempts at understanding American social customs, language, and interpreting school experiences on a field trip. This book seems tailor made for the classroom. The drawings by Ted Lewin have water color soft brush sunny look to each page, but the depictions seem more intended to convey a reality to Farah, our protagonist's, experiences with her school peers.
Farah is on a school trip to pick apples, and we see how children can often be ignorantly cruel and endearingly tender in their treatment of her. As the students go with their teacher on an apple picking field trip and learn about how to make apple cider, we see the children sitting on the wagon truck making mean and smiling faces at her duppatta, or head shawl, and Farah's inability to speak English fluently. Eventually in the orchard fields, Farah meets a boy and girl who befriend her, and we see how common experience of making apple cider and the American children's desire to reach out to understand and appreciate Farah creates new friendships.
Although I enjoyed this book for its realistic portrayal of how the immigrant experience can be fraught with challenges and misunderstandings due to cultural and language divides, the story telling had a cut and dried mechanical feel and sound to it. Farah's thoughts sounded authentic, but the narrative and events seemed too saccharine and overly simplistic in its portrayal of how students actually interact to seem real to me. "One Green Apple" by Eve Bunting is a very necessary story that would benefit from a more subtle interpretation and less stereotypical interaction between the characters.

As usual, I am a huge fan of Ted Lewin's watercolors. In this case, they are specific enough to show that the story is "real" but gentle enough to match Eve Bunting's vague omission of the name of Farah's home country in the text, giving the story a more universal air. I also that Lewin's illustration of Farah, likely painted in reference to a model in photograph, seems authentic, rather than a collection of stereotypes to convey the idea of a female Arabic child. Despite the lack of ink or pencil lines, the delicacy with which the watercolors are applied provides a lot of detail and the ability to distinguish shapes. The colors are only of medium saturation and use value to contrast the pastels of the bright sunlight with the dark shades of occasional trees and shadows. The story itself is also quite good, portraying both inner confidence and character in few words with a decent sense of conflict to Farah's shyness and discomfort in a new culture. This would be a nice read to introduce children to people who may dress differently (such as wearing a dupatta) since the perspective is completely Farah's but accessible to cultural outsiders. The symbolism is very good and worth discussion (Why do you think Farah picked a green apple when the other children picked red apples? How can you tell that Farah feels different? How do you feel different from your classmates? How can we be inviting to each other despite those differences? etc) in classroom or church settings.

The short story “One Green Apple” written by Eve Bunting is about a foreign girl who struggles in a new country that she has just moved to and doesn't understand English. In the new school when they take a trip she makes two new friends as they go pick apples to make apple cider and she is happy that she made those two new friends. I think this book is best suited for 1st and 2nd graders because at that age they need to learn to help people fit in with everyone else. A parent might choose this book to teach their kids to help other kids make new friends. Teachers might choose this book to show the class that everyone is the same and to help kids make new friends. Students might choose this book to understand how it feels to be left out. The theme of this book is to be left out. The lesson of the book is to try and make new friends so you won’t be left out and be able to fit in. The thing that I enjoyed most about this book is that she was able to make new friends and not worry about being left out. The reason I liked this is because once you make a friend then you know that everything is going to be ok. The thing that I didn’t like about this book is that the teacher treated her different than everyone else when they were picking apples. I didn't like this because that would maybe make her feel like she doesn't belong.

"One Green Apple" is a warm and touching story about a little girl named Farah and her experiences as she makes a transition from her Muslim to America. It is the second day of school and Farah and her classmates take a trip to an apple farm. Farah speaks no English and feels alone. She is the only one that wears a dupatta. She is surprised that boys and girls can sit together in her new country. On the way to the farm, some of the students make Farah feel alone because they laugh at her. At the farm, the students had to pick one apple each so that they can make apple cider. While picking the apples, Farah comes across a green apple and the apple makes her feel good. The apple is just like her, the only "different" one. However, one of her classmates, Anna, introduces herself to Farah. On the way back to the school, one of her classmates burps and it makes Farah and the rest of the classmates laugh. Farah comes to realize that while there are many things that are different in the new country, there are other things that are same, just as the burps and laughs.
As a teacher, I would use this story to teach students about other cultures and being able to accept others. I would read this book during the first week of school to help students get over the first week jitters.

"One Green Apple"is about an immigrant girl, Farah, who does not speak a word of English. This language barrier and her different appearance leaves her feeling alone, even among children her own age. Her class takes a field trip down to an apple orchard where they make cider. Farah picks a green apple, while all the others have picked red apples. When they all put their apples in the processor to make the cider, Farah realizes that her green apple has blended in with everyone's red apple, giving her a sense of belonging. For Farah, that's a moment of assurance that she'll soon blend in with the others, just as her green apple did. I would say the language in the book is appropriate for 3rd and 4th grade students. The illustrations in the book are beautiful and they do correspond to the text. I liked some aspects of the story, but I was a bit iffy about the overall message. For one, it was not written by an insider and I think the author oversimplified what it's like for immigrant children to find acceptance in our society. Secondly, I don't necessarily agree with the message that it's projecting: that immigration children have to "blend in" if they want to feel accepted. "I will blend with the others the way my apple blended with the cider. I take a deep breath."

Ted Lewin’s gorgeous sun-drenched paintings and Eve Bunting’s sensitive text immediately put the reader into another child’s shoes in this timely story of a young Muslim immigrant.

February 1, 2017In the story One Green Apple Farah feels what it is to be an outsider. This is demonstrated because people were laughing at her, things are new for Farah , and think of the positives in life.
My first reason is that people were laughing at her. She did not care if people were laughing at her. Farah did not understand why they were laughing at her. She ignored the people that were laughing.
My second reason is things are new for Farah. She does not speak eglish . She wears a khimar and the other girls don't. Alot of things are new for Farah.
In One Green Apple she feels like an outsider but when she feels like an outsider she think of the positives in life. She did not care if she had a green apple. people were laughing but she did not care. Her country and America did not get aloug very well.

"One Green Apple" is about a forgein girl named Farrah that moved to the United States and wants to fit in with some students at a fieldtrip. She didn't know how to speak their language, which is English, but she can understand them. She wanted to fit it so she wouldn't feel so different. Even though she couldn't understand them she knew they were being friendly, and wanted to accept her as a friend. I recommend this book to be a children's book because it has such a interesting story to it, it can give children confidence to not be shy and try to make friends no matter what race you can still make friends. This book is recommended for Kindergarten to 1st grade because it show how children respect eachother no matter how different they are, the theme of this short story is creating a friendship.I recommend that parents and or teachers purchase this book for children because it can help the children if they're ever in a situation like Farrah in this story.

Simple, yet this book is moving, and able to reach deeply into the emotions and help one understand the small, fragile girl who feels tiny inside herself. Just arriving to this country, Farah wants to come outside of herself and connect, but she has several barriers. One; her dupatta causes her to stand out from her peers, and two; her language barriers keep her apart except for her classmate Anna, who reaches into Farah's frightened and tiny self to welcome her. Again, in this book the illustrations are very strong and the facial expressions are a wonderful mimic of human expression. And though the words are few, the feeling and the message is palpable and powerful.

In the story “One Green Apple” by Eve bunting is about Ferah student in a new country. I really enjoy this book because it shows that it’s not easy to make new friends when you can’t speak their language and the way they dress. Take me for an example I can relate to her because the fact that I couldn’t speak they language or understand what they say when I bearly came to the United States. So it’s not that easy to make friends at first but then we will. This particular book I would recommend this book to a third grader and up because they could understand more of it and some could relate to it and others could get the message from this book.

How have I missed this book until now? Eve Bunting is amazing.
